Join us for a storytime and chance to meet the author of Rostam’s Picture-Day Pusteen, Ryan Tahmaseb. After the read-aloud, see Ryan’s family pusteen (a traditional jacket from Iran) up close, and design your own pusteen or a picture day self-portrait.
About Rostam’s Picture-Day Pusteen: Rostam and Maman recently moved to the United States, and Baba is still working in Iran. Now it’s picture day at school, and Rostam doesn’t want to wear his pusteen. Even though Baba wore it when he was little, and it’s beautiful and soft, Rostam worries that the other kids will think it’s weird. But sometimes being brave means sharing your whole self with others.
